Tape2Tape Draft Edition: The Jim Benning Rebuild

Tape2Tape Draft Edition: The Jim Benning Rebuild

June 27th, 2014 The 2014 NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia is still hours away, but that hasn’t stopped Canucks’ GM Jim Benning from getting a head start of the general manager duties. Everyone knew that Benning was coming into a tough situation in Vancouver when he took the job of rebuilding what Mike Gillis had left behind. From the...
Nick Ritchie: A Typical Maple Leaf

Nick Ritchie: A Typical Maple Leaf

June 26th, 2014 Don’t expect Peterborough Petes forward Nick Ritchie to slide past the top-10 mark in Friday’s NHL Entry Draft. The big left winger seems to have all the right tools to impress NHL front offices and should be among the first 10 selections. But could he drop to number eight? Could he be a potential target for the Toronto Maple...
Maple Leafs Draft Target: Nikolaj Ehlers

Maple Leafs Draft Target: Nikolaj Ehlers

June 19th, 2014 It’s expected to be one of the deeper draft years for NHL franchises with good up-and-comers well into the second round. With that in mind, it’s time to start looking at who the Toronto Maple Leafs should target with their eighth overall pick in this year’s entry draft. Certainly there’s no question surrounding three of this...

Ivan Barbashev: The KHL Debate

June 18th, 2014 The KHL debate is one of the most heated topics of discussion surrounding Russian skaters leading up to the NHL draft - especially over the past couple seasons. This year, the debate hasn’t changed. In fact, for one prospect the idea of heading home to Russia was the focal point of his team interviews. Russian Born NHLers In 2013-14,...
The NHL Combine: Behind the Scenes

The NHL Combine: Behind the Scenes

June 10th, 2014 Curtains at the end of a long hallway hide the future NHL draftees at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Each player concentrating - readying themselves for the strenuous fitness exams that sit beyond the double doors. In an open room, player personnel from every NHL franchise wait and monitor the young men as they...
Tape2Tape: Daniel Carcillo's Fatal Flaw

Tape2Tape: Daniel Carcillo's Fatal Flaw

June 6th, 2014 New York Rangers’ forward Daniel Carcillo is not a bad hockey player. In fact, I would argue that Carcillo is simply a player with misguided intentions - forced to use his physicality to maintain a spot in the NHL. Now, before you get all bent out of shape questioning if I can tell the difference between good and bad hockey, take a...
Tape2Tape: Pittsburgh Penguins Unsuccessful at NHL Draft

Tape2Tape: Pittsburgh Penguins Unsuccessful at NHL Draft

May 14th, 2014 The Detroit Red Wings always seem to find the gems late in the NHL draft - a skill they’ve been praised for over their storied history. The Pittsburgh Penguins draft history, however, hasn’t really been analyzed in-depth - until now. It was The Hockey Writers’ editor-in-chief, Bruce Hollingdrake, that brought an interesting stat...
Tape2Tape: Florida Panthers Scratching To Trade Pick

Tape2Tape: Florida Panthers Scratching To Trade Pick

May 6th, 2014 What if your favourite team ended up with the first overall pick at this year’s NHL entry draft? It’s not completely farfetched to think it could happen - especially after reports surfaced this week that Florida’s Dale Tallon is shopping the highly coveted pick. “Well, why not?” said Tallon in an article by NESN’s Nicholas...
